After a full track evaluation by NASCAR and International Speedway Corporation (ISC), Martinsville Speedway will add to its existing barrier system in advance of the STP 500 weekend March 27-29. Tire pack barriers will be installed.

ESPN Player will bring fans across Europe, the Middle East and Africa (excluding the UK, France, Italy and South Africa) live and on-demand coverage of the Verizon IndyCar Series season as a new channel on the digital subscription service.

Beginning in January 2016, Daytona International Speedway will feature approximately 101,000 permanent, wider and more comfortable seats, and all attendees will now have the opportunity to enjoy a full race day experience.

The 46-member department was cited for its work on 1,500 NASCAR-sanctioned events and more than 20 business units, including broadcasting, digital, and green innovation. Honorable Mention went to Big Machine Label Group’s three-person comms team.
